Does anyone know how does the Govt decide which areas are to be CCR, RCR and OCR? I tried searching on URA, but it doesn't have any concrete definition/criteria: https://spring.ura.gov.sg/lad/ore/login/glossary.cfm?no=1

Looking at the map below, it is clear that the CCR/RCR is not broken down geographically as CCR is broken up into pieces with RCR cutting in-between. Neither is it determined by development maturity in the early days, whether it's CBD or how high the PSF of the area is, as Tiong Bahru and the gap between Orchard and City are not included.

The area size of RCR is also not consistent on the left and right of CCR too, with RCR in the East spreading way further away from CCR, whereas the RCR in the west is almost non-existent.

Any ideas?

If you and your neighbours are rich enough, your postal code will classify you as “core” :o Everyone else is “the rest of” :o

I wouldn't buy Myra due to the address haha. But Tiong Bahru and Keppel is ok at CCR price (not Pasir Panjang though) due to proximity to CBD (for both) and Sentosa (for the latter).

Some jokers claim that Riviere is not prime just because it is D3 :o Not realising that it is within the same Robertson Quay enclave. :o

But too bad I am not. If can afford to comfortably stay in nice condos like Rivierie, The M or Avenue South, even Reflections... it’s a blessing liao. #Firstworldconcerns

I 苦笑 I buy better house for tenants to stay, than what I buy for ownstay.:p

In fact, that is the reason agents give when comparing Rivière to Irwell Hill Residences when marketing the latter. They claim that the latter is in CCR while the former is in RCR, so the latter is a better buy at the same price.

How about get a nice one for own stay and invest in stock market instead? Property no longer safe haven as many thought, many lost money too if bought at wrong time wrong price wrong location. Stocks also same, need to choose good ones, but much higher returns.

learning new things everyday, didnt know district number and RCR/CCR TAG also can be used to justify a price point. When i went for viewings, district no. and RCR/CCR last thing on my mind.

i thought i bought a D21 in OCR, only after one month then i realized its RCR

you see parc clementis and Ki residences all OCR but still sell $1600-1800 PSF.

Maybe there are really buyers who will check district # and zoning before buying

I think borders between CCR/RCR and RCR/OCR is the tricky part.

RCR near OCR not willing to spend as much, OCR near RCR trying to sell higher.

Will be interested to see the detailed zoning map for the area (including Pine Grove) near the intersection of Clementi and Ulu Pandan roads. It falls within all three.

Only beh Gan, insecure self proclaimed expressway property investor 40 will think CCR/RCR/OCR is impt, even at the expense of health and living quality also never mind. :o
